@royalcrown89:
@raphjd Not sure what you've been reading, but I've been seeing this story everywhere.
YEAH, it only became a news story at least 12 hours after the local Fox station reported it.
You're also wrong about President Obama, he called this situation disgusting.
His assistant Press Secretary did. When did Obama? "I'm sure he would agree" by the APS isn't the same as Obama saying it. Did Obama race bait it like he does when the races are reversed?
It is disgusting and I'm so grateful that the four people who committed this hateful act have been arrested. However, it is worth noting that they actually were arrested and no one had to march or beg the authorities to investigate. It's sad but we all know had this been four white people attacking a black disabled teen, thousands of black and white people (disabled and able-bodied) would've had to march just to get investigation started and then get the NAACP involved to actually pressure the authorities into charging the attackers.
Do you mean like Tawana Brawley?
When James Byrd, Jr. was murdered by those white supremacists, it took the federal government headed by Bill Clinton at the time to get justice for the hate crime that took his life, and it took a lot of people getting involved to have the white men charged. The state of Texas barely wanted to do an investigation. And he was decapitated by those white supremacists, not just beaten.
I lived in Houston at the time and I think you have a distorted view of the case to fit your narrative. He as decapitated as part of the dragging behind the truck.
It was the Jasper County DA that called in the feds because the suspects were known white supremacists. The FBI is best suited at these types of crimes.
You can deny it but we've just witnessed situations within the past few years where black and other people of color have been attacked and it has taken the action of protesters to get charges filed, even in situations where camera footage is present. With that being said, this situation is awful and once again thank goodness the criminals who committed it have actually been arrested and charged with hate crimes.
Are you referring to the cases where it was black on black crime and no one is cooperating with the police? It's always fun watching blacks getting pissing about the lack of police solving crimes in black areas, while blacks refuse to cooperate with investigations.
